But even sapposing that the cost will be as high us the est mate, it does not by any means follow that this enormous sum of money will be lost to Japan.

From all this it can be plainly seen that Japan is practically self-sufficient, she having only to import such raw materials as steel. irou, lead, wool. &e. Therefore the only money lost to the country will be the cost of native coolie labour at the seat of war and for railway work in Man: churia and other incidentals. This is the reason why Count Okons speaks so confidently of Japan being able to answer to the great call made upon her finances. We, old residents who have watched the country grow up, fully expect to see her Accessful, and are of opinion that it will be to the benefit of the rest of the world if she carries this war to a successful issue. We have no doubt that the Japanese Government will punctiliously carry out all it has promised to do at the finish.
